Splitting this because AFAICT it has nothing to do with systemd, I just ran into it while trying to get systemd to work. On Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 1:19 PM, 686f6c6d <686f6c6d@googlemail.com> wrote:

- Using kernel-default-3.1.0-1.2.1.x86_64 from the "install" repo, the installation succeeds. - Using kernel-default-3.1.9-1.4.1.x86_64 from the "update" repo, the installation fails.

Let me correct that: Once I changed the profile again to re-include some of our scripts (that were disabled while debugging), even kernel-default 3.1.0 fails with the same problem. Need to do further debugging.

Those seem to be unrelated problems. One thing I can say with certainty right now is that my profile does not work when I enable the update repo: installation of kernel-default fails because large parts of the device nodes in /dev are missing. When I disable the repo, everything works fine. Uwe: What is the best way to proceed from here? Should I open a bug for autoyast (although autoyast is not the real culprit here), or should we debug further on this list/off-list and then open bugs for the correct packages? I'm currently sanitizing the logs of both installations with and without the update repo enabled, which will take a while. -- Kind regards 686f6c6d / Christopher 'm4z' Holm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

can you try to do a manual installation and add the add-on manually then? So we can see if that happens during a manual installation too. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "Awesome" by THYX -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Reproducing all our autoyast settings manually will take a lot of effort, but I will try with a subset first and then add more if necessary. (Will not be able to begin before next week.) (Attached are the package lists of both installs. The main differences (bridge-utils, tunctl, vlan) exist because the newer version of sysconfig depends on these.) -- Kind regards 686f6c6d / Christopher 'm4z' Holm

you don't have to reproduce everything. It's enough to do an installation on that hardware with the same package selection like in the autoyast XML file and the extra repo added manually. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "We Bare These Scars" by Fractured -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

You make it sound so easy.

Damn, this is frustrating and time-consuming. I was able to reduce the <remove-packages> to 58 and left out the <post-packages> during manual install because the error happened before stage2. Interestingly, during manual install the installation of kernel-default does not produce an error, but the install fails later with my beloved "An error occured during initrd creation: <nothing here>". I've attached the package settings that I've reproduced manually and resulting list of packages, but I cannot see any differences except for the "new dependencies of sysconfig" (as described above), and the <post-packages> and their dependencies. I'm clueless... any idea? -- Kind regards 686f6c6d / Christopher 'm4z' Holm

If I understand you attachments correctly, you removed yast2-bootloader. That will break the installation -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, thank you very much! I overlooked that. I didn't remove it though, it just wasn't added automatically as it was with autoyast. Will retry later today or tomorrow (don't have the 90 minutes to spare right now). -- Kind regards 686f6c6d / Christopher 'm4z' Holm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, the error really is somewhere in our autoyast profile(s). Will need to dig deeper and do more test installs in the next weeks. Weird that it works without the update repo, though. -- Kind regards 686f6c6d / Christopher 'm4z' Holm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, I finally discovered what my problem with kernel-default from the "update" repo was: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773936 After only nine months, I was able to fix a lot of other bugs today. More on that next week, I bet I'll find new bugs soon.
